If you guys have any audio software, you can download a free Theremin plugin here:

It's awesome. It's really easy to create your own Theremin music without spending a ton of cash.

Yep, but I make crappy movies that nobody cares about.

I watched Halloween when I was 5 and I turned out okay... sort of.

Gina- Just keep your son away from Episodes I-III and he'll be fine.    Take it from me, I have the same birthday as George Lucas, so that makes me an expert, right?

I hope they do something like Master of Puppets or And Justice for All... but sadly that'll never happen.

I picked up the first two seasons of this and it's unbelievably funny.

I love these things. Allison has had the books around here for a long time.

Here's the information for the UK photographers among us:

I shot a TMBG concert in Chicago about 7 years ago. They're fun.

I can't say enough good things about low self discharge batteries (Sanyo Eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, etc.). They're great. I use them for just about everything that uses AA and AAA batteries. It's so much cheaper than using alkaline batteries and they actually perform better and longer.

For instance, I can get about 50-80 shots on my digital camera while using alkaline batteries. With my Duracell "Pre-charged" NiMH batteries, I can take several hundred and they still show a full battery meter on my camera's display.

This is true. Living in Minnesota, I've become very used to driving in bad conditions. While driving in snow, sometimes the only way to regain control as you start to slide is to let up on the gas slightly. It's a delicate balance that cruise control screws up.

I hang out with (and sometimes play guitar and bass) with these guys:

I guess it's a good thing that I don't have kids.

I actually like the women's competition better. It's more geared toward speed and agility. Ayako Miyake is the queen, having won three consecutive tournaments.

That if they don't stop scaring customers away (thus allowing me the time to do this), they would be in much better shape?

Well, not this exact link, but the Minneapolis Star Tribune has the same crosswords on their website.

I wouldn't hold out on ya.

Blasphemy!

I do these every day at work.

hulu.com has some episodes, but you'll have to wait until you get back to the US to watch them.

I already have one of those.

I love it!

Immediately after this shot was taken:
Citing the "5-second rule," Joey ran over and began licking the asphalt.

I work at a bank, so I get sick of the sight of them.

Sadly, I've only seen a couple episodes, but I've loved what I've seen. I'm going to have to buy the DVDs.

That's awesome!

The Onion is awesome.
